I'm not quite there with it.

If you get 5 guys who are paying $20 every 2 months for a season pass, you'd need ~10 full game purchases to equal (depending on your full game retail). For the most part, it's more palatable for people to drop $20 every few months on something they didn't pay $60/$70 for up front. Sure it's a psychological thing, but it's also pretty shrewd business as long as you can keep up with the content to justify the price.

I think the FUT-addicted folk will make up for any lost sales, and I'm sure that EA doesn't really care who spends money; which sucks for non FUT players.
